Im not sure if this has ever been proven. Elvis had an eye lift in 75 but rumors are that he also had a face lift and thats why he grow his sideburns so long in 76/77 (thats what ive read). I think this is the case I could be mistaken though.

from the eye lift i heard somewhere years back but from a full face lift ,i never heard from .Maybe there was a face lift but there are so many lies out there so i think we will never know that.

I know he told several people about the eye lift (which many said they did not think he needed to start with) but the full face lift is one of those that I classify as maybe/maybe not!;)

Hello there- my first post! So please be gentle....
I suppose it might be polite if I just introduce myself first- my name is Jasper (or JR) from sunny London. I've been a massive fan of the King for 20 years now and about 5 years ago my fandom evolved into me becoming an ETA. Great to be here with so many true Elvis fans.

OK, Elvis' eye-lift. The surgeon who did Elvis' procedure is still a practising plastic surgeon in Memphis- Dr.Asghan Koleyni.

I believe that it was ONLY an eye lift and not a full (or partial) face lift. Elvis did not need any sort of face lift whatsoever as he always had a very youthful looking face. But as for his eyes- yes he had an upper eye lift and probably some lower eye work done.

Just look at his eyes in the CBS Special and then compare it to Aloha- the upper lids have clearly been lifted. I thought the surgeon did a fantastic job and Elvis looked great.

One theory I disagree with is the theory that the surgeon performed the eye lift by cutting into Elvis' eyebrows. Some people think his eyebrows looked different in the CBS Special and they speculate it was because of the eye lift. But to my knowlege, no eye lift is performed this way and Elvis' eyebrows did not look particularly different in 77!

I remember reading in Sonny & Red West's book that he had some work done to his eyes.
Something I've always been a little curious about is, did he have any work done on his nose? What has fired my curiousity is his nose did not look as broad in the mid to late sixties. If you look at his 50's pic his nostrils are quite broad. Two things that come to mind on this is that he was supposed to have had a small accident in a tank while in the Army which involved slight damage to his nose. Also when his good friend Lee Majors had a nose job Elvis expressed some interest in this. These are things that I remember seeing in the day so my memory for detail is a bit limited. It's only in the recent past that I have wondered if these things had any credance. Interesting subject.
By the way, I must disaree with the eye-brow theory. His eye-brows in his final show look very thin and almost like they were penciled . Here's a discission on Topix on this subject. http://www.topix.com/forum/who/elvis-presley/TB4M1NG60DKPCNALB

First off I think the appearance of "anyones" facial features, nose, mouth forehead, chin-are greatly affected by the weight of the individual.
Elvis's nose looked thinner and less broad, when he was "thin"
In Kid Galahad his nose seems broader in the film and photos at times-but not all the time. Shadows, lighting, time of day etc all make a difference.
Look at pictures taken in 65-67 and IMO Elvis's nose looks fairly broad at times(cover of Elvis's Gold Records 4)- then in late 67 into 68 as he thins out-his nose also looks less full and broad.
That said, I do recall that Elvis supposedly had a rhinoplasty in the 50s in order to open up his sinuses for health reasons........now the debate is whether that was the case or was his nose slightly thinned.
Eyebrows, that are not trimmed or thinned, make the face look different. If you shape the eyebrows narrow the face will look fuller, if you let them get bushy, the face may appear less full because the eyebrows take up facial space etc.........Wider sideburns thin the face in appearance, long and wide can form the appearance of a thinner neck.
If you have sinus trouble, colds, hayfever problems, your face will appear fuller when your problems are bad, certain medications cause the "bloated look" and that makes people facial features different.
Its just hard to say what someone has or has not had done (surgically) when conflicting info is given.

Elvis had his nose thinned slightly very early on his career. Joe Esposito said it was "around the time he first went to Hollywood". My guess is it was done either in 1956 or 1957. He only ever had 1 nosejob and this was it.

There is a very good chapter on his early cosmetic enhancements in the book DOWN AT THE END OF LONELY STREET-The Life And Death of Elvis Presley by Peter Brown & Pat Broeske.

It canīt be. I donīt believe the story that would have had his nose thinned. The proof it canīt be true: Lisa has the same nose!

As far as I know here it goes:

1)There was a nose procedure happening in the first half of '56. This was a health issue related to his sinuses, not a cosmetic one, so you can't tell any difference. (As a singer any little breathing channels problem, which might be nothing for us, could be a real drag, you can see Elvis using a inhaler in Elvis on Tour, so that might tell you he did had some sinuses and or breathing issues, that might also explain why his nose/face look wider sometimes, plus his weight issues) KMP explains it cristal clear. Appart from that no other kind of nose procedure is been reported either in the army, hollywood days, or 70's.

2) He had a MINOR eye lift in 1975. You do can notice it as during the 70's he started to develop little eye bags, and they are suddenly gone somewhere post mid '75, it didn't make him look diffrent or weird, his eyes zone just looked more as it used to look prior to '70. The fact that his weight and health issues exploded post '75 made the eye job results irrelevant (except when he was doing a bit better) as his face and eyes zone became so bloated anyhow. NO HE NEVER EVER HAD a full face lift. And he wore those huge side burns and horrible hair cut in '76 just because, IT WAS 1976!!!

George Klein talks about it in his book - Elvis paid for George to have an eye lift first and then Elvis got one.

I also think he had a slight nose job in the 50's - his 54-55 photos show a bump on his nose - which was fairly broad and then later pictures 56 on - he has a very straight nose profile and it's thinner

Tony Trout

Elvis had some minor work done around his eyes on June 15, 1975. He never, ever had a full facelift - if he had, he would've looked a whole lot different.

"Elvis is admitted to the Mid-South hospital for two days for what the press reports as, "an extensive eye examination" but what is, in fact, surgery around his eyes. Both Dr. Nick and the plastic surgeon, Dr. Asghan Koleyni, try to talk him out of it, but he insists, threatening to have another doctor perform the procedure if they won't."

The info above can be found at the Elvis History (http://www.elvis-history.com) website.

To me, he never looked the same after this procedure. It ruined that "sleepy, sexy" look he had to his eyes.

Elvis had his nose thinned in 56/57. Fact.

Joe Esposito confirmed this when he said Elvis"...had his nose altered only slightly. They made it a little thinner, a little sexier". If you look at photos of Elvis post-56, his nose is noticeably broader compared to how it would look a year later.

Was that really an asthma inhaler Elvis was pumping backstage in On Tour or was it simply a breath freshner? You can also see him using one backstage in the CBS Special. With all the kissing he did in concerts, it's easy to assume this would be a breath freshner. Look closely at how he is using it in On Tour- he pumps it quite vigourously- about 5 times per second....which is far too quick for an asthma inhaler where you have to pause and breathe deeply between each pump- but this usage would be consistent with a breath freshner spray.

Here is a nice example of how Elvis' nose looked before he got it thinned:

And a good example from years later- the nose is clearly thinner.

Inhalers are not only used for asthma, Elvis didn't had asthma. That is never been reported.

Inhalers are also used to get rid of sinuses swelling/inflammation, talking about cronic sinusitis.

Cronic inflamation of the sinuses might make your nose (and even your face) look a bit wider, and when the issue is gone, it looks thinner.

Cronic sinusitis is sometimes related to a deviated septum. A deviated septum is not only caused by trauma. You can born with a slighty deviated septum: which might cause you breathing problems, sinuses swelling/cronic sinusitis.

Deviated septum, a shitty condition for a singer, can be corrected with a minor surgical procedure, after the procedure, sometimes the nose can look a bit thinner. In some severe cases, even a bit diffrent, as the deviated septum, gave the nose a deformed look.

After the procedure, also, some patients might develop an hipersensitive condition, sometimes for a bit, sometimes for life, a condition that might again, lol, cause cronic sinuses swelling, and breathing problems.

Hmmm...

As KPM pointed out: "That said, I do recall that Elvis supposedly had a rhinoplasty in the 50s in order to open up his sinuses for health reasons........now the debate is whether that was the case or was his nose slightly thinned". If the reason they needed to open up his sinuses was a slighty deviated septum, a slightly nose thinning was only a colateral result, although, on the other hand, is not uncommon, that a minor nose job is done for aesthetic reasons, that while fixing a deviated septum, if that is the patient desire.

I can't tell either!:hmm: When people change their eye appearance it's usually noticeable. I have compared pictures and fail to see a change. In Aloha, Elvis looked a little tired around the eyes. But I can't see a cross-over in 1975. If anyone can post two pictures showing the difference - I'd like to see them. Lisa does have her father's nose and she hasn't had anything done:blink:

That was NOT an asthma inhaler. That was breath freshener. He also does it in backstage footage from Macon, GA on April 15, 1972 as can be seen in "Elvis on Tour: Through My Eyes". This has been covered here many times before but I can't find the relevant links so let's not stat beating a dead horse again.....

Elvis used a bronchial dilator which helped open and keep open his bronchial tubes and sinuses while performing. Notice he turns it upside down-my daughter used one for years and that is indeed IMO what he has in his hand in EOT. Sonny West and Dr. Nick both speak of Elvis having lost his voice on stage once and from then on he was very concerned with it happening again in performance so a whole ritual of things were done by Nick to help him with this fear including the bronchial dialator, the tea with honey, antihistamines, etc....
As for the thinning of the nose the rhinoplasty that Elvis had done-was supposedly to help with his predilection to easily get common colds, which affected his voice and singing. Anyone who has had problems with sinuses or getting colds easily knows how easily they can lead to more serious infections, chronic sinusitis and bronchitis.
Now that being said-why the rhinoplasty was done is debateable-3 sides to the question.
1-Was the surgery only done for physical appearance reasons?
OR
2-Was the surgery done for the reason I have stated to combat vocal problems brought about by easily getting colds which can often lead to worse ailments for a singer?
3-Was the surgery done for both reasons?

I happen to think the 2nd reason seems logical because I know someone who had it done for that reason

I have a sister in law who at the age of 15 had a rhinoplasty done because she kept getting colds and they led to serious sinus infections and bronchitis. She did look different in pictures she showed my wife and I before her procedure.......not a huge difference but a subtle difference in the nose-a tad smaller.
Joe-(God Love him) was not around in the 50s so his knowledge would be limited to what he was told, by others or Elvis. Also as much as I hate to say it-he at times has had varying stories on varying subjects (as many do) so I take a lot of what all say with a grain of salt.....................some things ring true, some don't and its all subjective to your own personal dissection of the "facts".;)

I suppose it is possible for Elvis to have had a little surgery here and there to help with health and minor imperfections, I don't see it as an issue. I certainly don't think less of Elvis for doing those things.

Would Elvis have continued to do so if had he lived longer?

Lets not forget that Elvis had an ego as big as all outdoors and he was a very proud man. I would be quite possible that he would have had more work done as the advancing years started to show. Wouldn't any of us do the same thing if we could?
Of course it does not change our opinion of Elvis. I don't think Elvis fans are that shallow.
It is the human condition that we like to find that our idols have feet of clay.

FOOTNOTE:
A failing or weakness in a person's character, as in The media are always looking for a popular idol's feet of clay . This expression comes from the Bible (Daniel 2:31-33), where the prophet interprets Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a statue with a head of gold and feet of iron clay. [c. 1600]

where did Elvis get the time in '56-'57 to have a nosejob without having ANY pictures findable anywhere with his nose swollen or having some visible (young) scars? His agenda was fully booked... it was not like he was able to be away from public for months (like it was in the 70s)

First off, you don't have to shout. Using capital letters in a message either in email or a message board on the internet is the equivalent of shouting.

Second, I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to disagree very strongly with you here. Just because Elvis married Priscilla doesn't mean that he loved her - I think that the love that Elvis had for Prscilla died long before their wedding day. Linda Thompson was, IMO, a much better woman for Elvis than Priscilla Presley will ever be and she took much better care of Elvis during his final years than I think Priscilla would've done and even the guys in the Memphis Mafia have said that Elvis might've possibly still been with us a bit longer had Linda still been with him on that fateful/tragic morning of August 16, 1977.

Linda knew Elvis was cheating on her before she began cheating on him with pianist David Briggs but her thoughts were', "What can I do about it?" Well, when she saw that he wasn't going to marry her, she left in November of 1976. I applaud the woman for staying with him as long as she did. When Elvis found out about the affair she was having with his keyboardist, David Briggs, he walked out onstage one night and unplugged David's keyboard so....I think you're way off base by so heavily criticizing Linda Thompson. She saved Elvis's life on more than one occasion due to his drug abuse. That, to me, speaks volumes about Linda Thompson and I also applaud her for not writing a book about her life with Elvis as have so many other people who were in Elvis's life. I think that Linda was even in Las Vegas, NV the first night that Elvis flew Ginger Alden into Vegas to show her around.

So, IMVHO (in my very humble opinion), I think it's wrong to come down so hard on Linda Thompson. She was the best thing that could've ever happened to Elvis from 1972-1976 - and he let her slip away.




Furthermore,,, what you call an eye lift could have been from his glaucoma and not an actual eye lift. WOW! HE WASN'T OLD WOW


You're wrong again. It was an actual eye lift. It was not nor did it have anything to do with his glaucoma whatsoever. He wanted to look younger - but, to me, the operation only made him look worse around the eyes.

Excuse me, but I have, in fact, done my homework and I do not find Linda Diane Thompson at fault for anything that she did while she was with Elvis. She saved Elvis's life on many occassions when he would've died and stayed with him during his times in the hospital. Did little Miss Priscilla do that? I think the answer to that would be a pretty quick: "NO!"

Thank you, Rene. When I first saw that message it immediately made me angry but I think that this thread is gonna go downhill really fast because of Yisagirl's attitude about anyone who posts anything that is absolutely 100% true about Linda Thompson.

Some people just want to run other people down. Linda was the best thing to ever happen to Elvis. Elvis wasn't faithful to her and Linda was no saint, either...that's one reason the relationship didn't last. Elvis could not be faithful to one woman for any length of time., IMO. Shoot, even Ginger Alden dated guys behind Elvis's back!

The boys said in Revelations of the Memphis Mafia that he had his eyes done around 75 maybe 76. Lamar Fike said that it "ruined his eyes", because the "sleepy bedroom" eyes were one of his staples.

He was private the people he really knew were private and most of all when faced with an out right fight, on a site were people are fans???? Its hard to read this stuff and to think you put so much anger towards each other.

Some people have attitudes on different women that were in elvis life and if one doesn't like who the other one does, then they make comments to you, I don't think because you are stating a factual statement on one of them you don't need to be knocked just because the other person doesn't like the same one as you. So I forgive you for your comments but calling Priscilla little ms. P riscilla shows me you have an attitude towards her just as I do with good reason about linda diane thompson.
